Advanced Royal Gorge Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview

Royal Gorge whitewater rafting is the ultimate half/full day rafting adventure trip in Colorado. Huge waves, steep technical drops, and almost continuous whitewater rapids in a narrow canyon await you with rapids like Sledgehammer, Wallslammer, the Narrows, Boateater and the infamous Sunshine Falls. The Royal Gorge may demand so much attention you don't even notice the world famous Royal Gorge Bridge 1053 feet above the river. This exhilarating trip is recommended for rafters or adventurers in good physical shape who are ready for aggressive paddling. Our Royal Gorge whitewater rafting trips are our most popular advanced trips! If you are seeking lots of excitement, this trip is for you and your group. Lunch will be served at a stop on the river.

We did the full day Royal Gorge Trip. We had so much fun. The water levels were really low, but it was still worth it. The morning was casual and we had a great time looking at the scenery and enjoying nature. The afternoon picked up once we got closer to the gorge. Our guide was E-Man and he was amazing. He was so experienced, it made our trip a lot of fun.

We did the full day trip and had a blast with our expert guide, Millie. She gave us precise safety instructions and called out clear commands that insured our white-water rafting adventure was the best ever! The views in the gorge (afternoon portion) are phenomenal, and the waves are class III-IV...exhilarating! When we got back to base camp, there were digital photos of our family. Get the entire file for significant savings.
